but masood was soon developing a reputation for violence.ssex village, where he lived in his 20s, at the local pub he slashed a man in the face with a knife and was sent to jail. didn't have a very good reputation, definitely. i remember he was a bit of a troubled character, i think would be the way to describe it. a family friend said this wasn't the only time he turned violent. a chap was looking at him, and i was sitting at the pool table, and he took umbrage against the landlord for looking at him like he was, the landlord was looking at him, and he flew over the bar, he got a glass, he was going to do him. khalid masood spent time in three prisons. around ten years ago, he worked in saudi arabia. it is not clear when he converted to islam, but he started using the surname masood at least 11 years ago. his mother now lives in a remote farmhouse in camarthenshire, which detectives searched yesterday. they have not been in any sort of contact with their son for well over 20 years, i understand. and when it comes to terrorism, unfortunately

there is a lot we don't know about khalid masood. yes. it is very clear but we do know that he spent time in lewes prison, where you spent a short time as a governor there. and a couple of other prisons, weiland and ford, which you visited. can you give me an idea that when you visited them, how aware you would have been of the problem of radicalisation there? firstly, it's important to emphasise that we have no idea at this point in time whether his periods of time in custody were relevant at all to what he became, which was a murderous terrorist. or, whether they had significance. so we need to be careful indeed about how we speculate about these things. i spent time working in the three prisoners he has been in during his time in custody. they are very different, lewes prison is a victorian prison, a multifunctional prison that handles a lot of short sentences, local to the community. wayland prison is a rural prison setting a large area, it is category c, medium security prison, which is set over a wide area. ford is a prison which pr
